I always knew that the vegan obsessives have no sense of humour.
A family butchers has been blasted by irate vegans over an ‘ignorant’ sign with a tounge-in-cheek message about eating more meat instead of ‘innocent vegetables’.
W.M. Christie Butchers, in Bruntsfield, wrote a chalkboard message outside the shop that read: ‘Every day thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians. Help end the violence and eat meat.’
Reasonable people would see this and smile. It’s a joke, nothing more, but no, cue the outraged mob.
After a snap was shared on a Facebook vegan group, members failed to appreciate the joke and branded the butchers ‘psychopaths’ for making light of ‘the most violent industry that has ever existed’.
To be expected really. These narcissists take themselves far too seriously and now they have demonstrated it for all to see.
A few calmer voices, however, reasoned that the butchers is entitled to promote its business and that nobody is forcing vegans to eat meat.
Oh, don’t bring common sense into it. There’s a Twitter mob to mobilise…
It gave me a laugh yesterday when I read the story. Vegans seem to be a cretinous bunch. It was obviously humorous but oh no, we had to have essays invoking the evils of slaughtering food animals. Note the irony that if there was no demand such animals would not have any life at all.
Brilliant, that butcherman.
Like i have said previously, to be Vegan you must be mentally ill and should be sectioned. British meat is wonderful.
W.M. Christie Butchers, in Bruntsfield, the only one to trust for your quality cuts. As promoted worldwide by vegan fruitloops. Don’t forget the name, W.M. Christie Butchers of Bruntsfield!
Vegans shouldn’t be so damned sanctimonious and holier-than-thou. As Mr Spock once said, “we all feed on death – even vegetarians”.
There’s something inherently miserablist about people who eschew meat. I mean, I thought I had a dark side. Then I ran into a Vegan (Pity I wasn’t with a truck).
Now I think to myself; “That Darth Vader. Bet he’s a vegan. That’s why he wipes out all those planets.” Must be something to do with low protein levels and missing all those fat soluble vitamins. That’s probably why he needs that breath mask.
“There’s something inherently miserablist about people who eschew meat.”
Not really, I just don’t really like it. Then again I’m not vegan, I’m not even a vegetarian really, I eat dairy products, eggs and fish. I think that it is sad that the live and let live approach to life seems to be in decline. If someone wants to subsist on a vegan diet that is their business and none of mine. My diet is none of their business either and they need to get that through their heads.
Precisely. Diet is not a one size fits all matter. And if someone can tolerate my lifestyle, I’m more than happy to tolerate theirs. As for my opinions about non meat eaters I derive those from several awful proselytising vegans I have had the displeasure to have met in person. Witch burners all.
In matters of diet there can only be one rule; whatever works for you.
While my memories of Bruntsfield are forty years old, I imagine it is still full of student lets and a hotbed of unproductive shouters. If we need diet advice those who deliberately choose an inadequate range of foodstuffs for ideological reasons won’t be on the list of consultants.
Also, don’t forget MacSweens of Bruntsfield, international suppliers of fine haggis.
Technically, carnivores eat vegetarians, don’t we?
Not if you eat chicken, chickens are omnivores, there isn’t very much that they won’t eat. Watching them pile into a leftover curry always makes me laugh.
What happens when a vegan is offered a new heart and it turns out to be a pigs heart? Is that allowed.
